I’d just like to point out that I am in no way related to I. Michael Coslov (above), though I did have glasses like those for about a month. From JTA.org :
A pro-McCain letter e-mailed to Pennsylvania Jews suggested that a vote for Barack Obama could bring another Holocaust.
Pennsylvania Democrats are calling on U.S. Sen. John McCain™s campaign to disavow the letter from the state Republican Party™s œVictory 2008 committee.
The letter, which reportedly was sent to 75,000 Jews, was signed by three prominent Jewish Republicans, including Sandra Schultz Newman, a former state Supreme Court justice, and I. Michael Coslov, the campaign chairman of the Philadelphia Federation of Greater Philadelphia.
The e-mail, after extolling McCain™s record and questioning U.S. Sen. Barack Obama™s commitment to Israel — as well as his associations with William Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — says that œJewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008. Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake. Let’s not make a similar one this year.
Michael Barley, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Republican Party, told The New York Times that the e-mail “definitely went a little bit farther than the facts would support” and that the political operative who composed it had been fired.
“This individual never worked for our campaign and that sort of rhetoric has no place in it,” said Paul Lindsay, a McCain-Palin spokesman. “The only candidate in this race who needs to repudiate anything is Barack Obama, who has failed to be straightforward with the American people about his relationship with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers.”
If you’re compiling a checklist of pandering, Sen. Obama has been characterized at one time or another as a practicing Muslim, an anti-American, a socialist, an elitist, a baby killer and now, an anti-Israel operative at the least, an accessory to genocide at worst. Clearly, it’s taken all sorts of decorum on the part of the nation’s hate fuckers not to point out Obama’s ties to Satanism, stewardship of the Robert Wuhl Fan Club or plans to make same sex marriage mandatory by the age of 12.
Also, the Democratic nominee’s opponents might not be aware of this, but apparently, he’s black, too.
It may sound crazy, but one of the candidates in this race has publicly praised, even emulated, a writer-activist who himself paid tribute to Lucifer.

wow, I stand corrected. sort of. I guess there’s one more week for McCain or some rogue element to pay the Satan card.
Still, if they’re gonna go there, there’s always the McCain family’s ties to Dave Mustaine. I think most sensible americans will agree that worshipping Satan is pretty mainstream compared to being Mustaine’s publicist.
The worst part of this: although Coslov ostensibly signed onto the letter as a personal gesture, it nonetheless reflects poorly on Federation, in which he has played a (laudable) leadership role — and which makes his behavior here all the more shocking. As a veteran businessman, he should know better.
I sent an email to Coslov, urging him to repudiate his involvement in this letter. No response, so far (after 12 hours). Feel free to email him at [email protected]
He may be a fine, deeply committed person, but he must act quickly to demonstrate that this moral and ethical lapse was a mistake. Unequivocally.
(An interesting sidebar: if the person who created this letter “never worked for” the McCain-Palin campaign, how could he have been fired?)
Actually, no one compared President Obama’s future administration to the Holocaust…you did that all on your own. I know, I know, I’m censored for disagreeing with you.
“Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008. Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake. Let’s not make a similar one this year.â€
Comparison or an obvious implication? (Sir or madam, you’ve not been censored once. Much like your litany of baseless accusations, you’re unable to cite one comment that’s been cut or edited).
Littany….that means list, I think!
I bow before you o wise one. You have demonstrated to me that the pious Democrats only speak the truth, and never distort and twist things to their advantage, while the evil Republicans always use the most base, unconscionable tactics to advance their cause.
Thank you for clearing that up.
****Note to all those with their noses up Jerome’s anus….I’m voting for Barrack. Unless you talk shit to me, then I might change****
Sir or madam? How did you know?!!!
oh go on, just ban him already.
